AWS Outage Made HA Alexa Integration more reliable?

I have Alexa via Nabu Casa, I frequently have to say the commands twice as the first response it "that the device x isn’t responding. Sometimes it takes 20 seconds or so and then the action actually happens then Alexa tells me it isn’t responding. Very frustrating.

After the AWS outage yesterday and when I came back online and operational late last night it has been working flawlessly. Works first time, every time and quick.

Anyone else have this observation?
